I’m ALIVE. I got up really early (0430) to take sunrise pictures and instead I was disappointed to find a storm. I hit the road anyways thinking that the photo opportunities would still be great. I headed to the spot I selected the night before for sunrise and was met with a lightning storm. I braved it a little anyways, figured it would result in a nice shot. I wasn’t out there alone, so my consolation was that if I died, I wouldn’t die alone. 🙂

Spent another wonderful day at Badlands NP. Found a new Burrowing Owl family!

Maybe if I lay down here in the grass, she can’t see me?
